The Bronze Altar

(Exodus 38:1–7)

1“You are to buildH6213 an altarH4196 of acaciaH7848 woodH6086.

3MakeH6213 allH3605 its utensilsH3627 of bronzeH5178—its potsH5518 for removing ashesH1878, its shovelsH3257, its sprinkling bowlsH4219, its meat forksH4207, and its firepansH4289. 4ConstructH6213 for it a grateH4345H4639 of bronzeH5178 meshH7568, and make aH6213 bronzeH5178 ringH2885 atH5921 each of the fourH702 cornersH7098 ofH5921 the meshH7568. 5SetH5414 the grate beneathH4295 the ledgeH3749 of the altarH4196, so that the meshH7568 comesH1961 halfwayH2677 upH5704 the altarH4196.

6Additionally, makeH6213 polesH905 of acaciaH7848 woodH6086 for the altarH4196 and overlayH6823 themH853 with bronzeH5178. 7The polesH905 are to be insertedH935 into the ringsH2885 so that the polesH905 areH1961 onH5921 twoH8147 sidesH6763 of the altarH4196 when it is carriedH5375.

8ConstructH6213 the altarH853 with boardsH3871 so that it is hollowH5014. It is to be madeH6213 just asH834 you were shownH7200 on the mountainH2022H3651.
